Skin Cancer Diagnosis Specialists

Vectra 360 is a three-dimensional imaging system that enables a comprehensive analysis of the entire skin surface. Thanks to its advanced technology, it provides an objective and highly detailed view of the patient’s skin, making it a key tool for the prevention, diagnosis and follow-up of a wide range of dermatological conditions.

Early detection and lesion monitoring using high-resolution total-body mapping

This system allows precise documentation and comparison of the evolution of moles and pigmented lesions with millimetre-level accuracy. It facilitates the early identification of suspicious changes and contributes to the early detection of skin cancer, reducing the need for invasive examinations and increasing diagnostic confidence.

Support for medical and aesthetic treatments

In addition to its role in oncological dermatology, Vectra 360 is highly useful in monitoring inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis and in the planning of aesthetic treatments. Its high-resolution three-dimensional models help design personalised procedures and objectively assess outcomes, ensuring a more precise and effective approach.

Reflectance confocal microscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows real-time, cellular-level examination of the skin. This technology enables specialists to analyse skin lesions in great detail, reducing the need for conventional biopsies and providing a faster and more comfortable diagnostic experience for patients.

Early detection of skin cancer

Virtual biopsy is particularly useful in the assessment of pigmented and non-pigmented lesions suspected of malignancy, such as atypical moles or basal cell carcinomas. Its ability to visualise the skin’s cellular architecture in depth facilitates the early identification of malignant changes, contributing to more effective treatment and greater preservation of healthy tissue.

Monitoring of treatments and complex lesions

Beyond initial diagnosis, confocal microscopy allows close monitoring of lesion evolution and assessment of response to medical and aesthetic treatments. This real-time, high-resolution information is essential for personalised therapeutic decision-making and optimisation of clinical outcomes.

Digital dermoscopy is an imaging technique that enables detailed analysis of moles and pigmented lesions, storing high-resolution images that can be compared over time. It is a fundamental tool for the early diagnosis of melanoma and other skin cancers, as it detects subtle changes that are not visible to the naked eye.

Longitudinal recording of lesions

The system captures detailed images of each mole and integrates them into a digital body map, allowing precise monitoring of their evolution. Automatic comparison between examinations enables rapid identification of changes in size, shape or colour, increasing diagnostic accuracy and reducing unnecessary biopsies.

Prevention in high-risk patients

Digital dermoscopy is especially recommended for individuals with multiple moles, a family history of melanoma or significant cumulative sun damage. In these patients, regular surveillance using this technology allows suspicious lesions to be detected at very early stages, significantly improving the chances of effective treatment.

Pathology is a cornerstone in the management of skin cancer, as it allows confirmation of the diagnosis, precise characterisation of the lesion and definition of the most appropriate treatment strategy in each case.

Diagnostic confirmation and risk assessment

Following clinical examination and, when indicated, removal of the suspicious lesion, the sample is sent to the pathology department for microscopic analysis. This examination determines whether the lesion is benign, precancerous or malignant and, in the latter case, identifies the tumour type, depth of invasion, margins involved and other prognostic factors.

Close collaboration with dermatology and surgical teams

Dermatologists and surgeons at Grupo Pedro Jaén work in close collaboration with the pathology team, with the primary aim of ensuring timely, well-informed clinical decisions. This integrated clinicopathological approach is essential to deliver the most effective treatment and to reduce the risk of recurrence or subsequent complications.

Dermatological ultrasound is a complementary tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of skin cancer. It provides high-resolution images of the skin layers and subcutaneous structures without the need for invasive procedures.

Assessment of depth, extent and vascularity

In cases of suspicious lesions or confirmed skin tumours, ultrasound helps determine lesion depth, true extent and potential involvement of adjacent tissues. It also allows assessment of vascularity, which is particularly useful when planning surgery or monitoring aggressive tumours such as melanoma.

Complement to other diagnostic techniques

When indicated, high-frequency ultrasound is incorporated into the diagnostic protocol. In expert hands, it provides valuable complementary information to clinical examination, dermoscopy and virtual biopsy, enabling a more accurate assessment of lesion depth and pattern of spread, and supporting safer, more personalised treatment decisions.
